Bug Description

Using up to date breezy, I can't remove broken links from the trash. I have to
do it from the command line.

1) make a broken link on your desktop.
2) click on it.
3) click "Move to trash"
4) open the trash icon
5) select the broken link, and press the delete key on the keyboard
6) asks if you want to remove file from trash. Click ok. Nothing happens.

If I right click on the trash icon and select "Empty trash" it does work. (IE
the link is succesfully removed).

In fact the bug was about the message when click on it, the actual action is still an issue. I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332520

This bug is still present in feisty (natuilus 2.18.1).

When there is the broken link in the trash, selecting all the files in the trash and hitting del produces nothing but keeping selected only the broken link.

new upstream comment

"This seems to have been fixed in the gio migration, works fine here with
2.21.91.
Please reopen this bug or open a new one (under the GIO section) if you can
reproduce this again with Nautilus >=2.21, thanks!"

confirming that the description steps work correctly on hardy, closing the bug, feel free to reopen if you still get the issue using the new version
